    New Wheels

    I am looking to get a set of Cragar Soft 8's and I was needing to know what size I need to get. My tires are 255/70/16 so obviously I'm needing 16" wheels, but what is the offset I'll need and stuff. 16 6-5.5?

    Just cuz you have that size tires on the truck already doesnt mean you need to use the same ones..... Why not go with like 17's? More of a selection in tires I think. But as far as I know yes its 6x5.5.

    I would, but I just bought new tires about 2 months ago.

    just order the 16x8. the offest will be a little different but it will be fine. they will stick out maybe another 1/4-1/2 inch.

    The stock wheels have a 5" backspacing, but thats with 16x7s. If you get the 16x8s they will stick out 1" extra. Soft 8

    That's the info I was needing. Thanks! I kinda like the idea of them sticking out a little further. How durable are these wheels?
